Network Q&A


1 .What is computer Network?
Computer network is the interconnection of two or more computers, through communication channels by using Hardware and software components for sharing the resources.
2. What is meant by Data Communications?
It means the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as wire cable.
3. What are the required components for Data communications?
The required components for Data communications are
1. Message
2. Sender
3. Receiver
4. Transmission medium
5. Protocol
4. In how many ways data flow can takes place?
There are three modes of data flow. They are
1. Simplex - only one of the two devices on a link can transmit, other can only receive. E.g. Keyboard Monitors.
2. Half duplex – each station both can transmit and receive, but not at same time. E.g. walkie – talkies and CB (Citizen Band) radios.
3. Full duplex – both station can transmit and receive simultaneously. E.g. telephone network.
5. What are the basic elements of computer networking?
The basic elements of the computer networking are
1. Hardware
2. Software
3. Protocols
6. What is the hardware components required in Networking?
1. Network Interface Card (NIC)
2. Hub
3. Switch
4. Routers
5. Repeaters
6. Ethernet cable
7. Define Protocols
A Protocol is defined as the set of pre-defined rules.

8. What is Network Protocol?
A network protocol is a language that is used by systems that wish to communicate with one another.
9. What are the two types of Protocols?
The two types of Protocols are
1. Routable Protocol
2. Non Routable Protocol
10. What is Non routable Protocol?
A non routable protocol is a protocol that does not have the capability to cross a router to be sent from one network to another network.
11. What is Routable Protocol?
A routable protocol is a protocol whose packets may leave your network, pass through your router, and be delivered to a remote network.
12. What are the major protocols found in the networking environment?
There are four major protocols found in the networking they are
  1. NetBEUI - Non Rout able
  2. IPX/SPX - Routable
  3. Apple talk - Routable
  4. TCP/IP - Routable
